Pre-Trib? Mid-Trib? Post-Trib? How the 7 Year Tribulation Protects the Antichrist

The 7 Year Tribulation protects the antichrist. It does not protect Christians. It does not protect those who will one day become Christians. It's
sole purpose is to protect the antichrist from detection. Popularized in the 20th Century, "Futurism", the belief that Daniel's 70th week has not
yet been fulfilled, is believed among the vast majority of Protestants today. Yet if the Christians 2000 years ago had believed the same exact thing
Christians today believe they would have perished when Jerusalem was destroyed. Not only this, but the idea of a future antichrist to come has
utterly blinded Christians to the vast amounts of spiritually wicked steps the real antichrist has already been taking right underneath the noses of
Christians.

I read recently, that the Ethiopian calendar is 7 years behind the Gregorian calendar... based upon their calculation for Christ's birth...
calculations that are considered to be more accurate than ours.

Why even bother worrying about these things? What will happen happens. It's not like knowing what will come will do you any good. Quite the opposite
actually. What would you do? Trying to prevent it? Make it happen faster? When the time is ripe certain events will unfold, not when you want it.
Obsession leads only to suffering. Sure it's interesting but nobody knows what it means. And all guesses will turn out to be wrong.
My personal bet is it will be a lot less doomy. And the antichrist is only scary to those afraid of changes and the truth. Those who want to preserve
the status quo. A futile endeavor from the start.

Because it's exciting and gives them the chills, something to think about. It's similar to doom porn in a way and also gives them a reason to feel
chosen and special compared to evil, doomed society; the majority of mankind, all going to hell. That's a lot of people, billions. Factor in all of
humanity that wasn't saved throughout history after Jesus was crucified and that's.. a lot of spiritual torture cells for eternity. God could close
that Guantanamo Bay in Dimension 666 with the snap of the fingers but.. unfortunately they deserve it for not giving themselves to the Lord. The only
way to eternal sensory stimulation, emotional peace and love, pleasure, being with loved ones forever is to not have a flesh body anymore but getting
saved during your short time on Earth of 50 to 100 years.

Earth itself is around 14 billion years old, or maybe that was the universe. Eternity is 999 trillion years multiplied by 999 trillion years 999
trillion times looped for infinity. You know Islam isn't the way there when they believe that they get 72 virgins in heaven. 72 virgins for that many
trillions of years? Uh.. you'd completely give up sex after a while and be stuck with a small army of women. But you're a spirit, not a flesh body,
but in heaven any wish is yours such as a simulated flesh body. It's like being a character in a sandbox game and being the developer at the same
time.

I believe that you'd get bored with ANYTHING, no matter how good. Virgins, the best food, comfort, and entertainment you could imagine, every crazy
idea you could ever think up. Mountains of drugs, literal Mount Everest. The ocean itself could be perfect top shelf liquor. After 999 trillion years
squared infinitely, you'd be filming an ant colony reality show.

Continued because stretching life is sounding really good. I turned 36 a few months ago so as for statistics, I'm probably 50% done with
existing, experiencing reality, being here at all. I can also look back at the first half of life and get the feel for a measurement of time as to how
long I have left, what it'll feel like, how much time I'll have to do things and enjoy it before I cease to exist like before I was born in 1982. The
Cold War wasn't even over with yet, and Gorbachev is STILL alive, for a few years perhaps.

You remember back then, right? Floating in the creation zone, heaven, some dimension, I'm not sure how it works exactly, as a spirit about to enter
the physical dimension of Earth (That's why aliens aren't real by the way, this is the only life in the universe because it's a created simulation).
Maybe you're created by God the moment you're conceived, born, something. He has an assembly line and each one is always unique. It was never designed
that way in the genetic code and in evolution because if humans were in complete control over reproducing and more importantly successful birth,
they'd be creating spirits. I'm sure you've heard or read about the Chinese scientist who altered the dna of a pair of twins that were inseminated
into a woman and born recently.

The only thing blinding christians is Christianity. The entire world is happening under your nose and you’ll never
notice it.

There is a way to go before the beast shows up. Lots of signs left before that plays out. There is still time to get it together. It shouldn't matter
anyway as a truly saved Christian would have nothing to worry about and would have no concerns regarding the end times.

Don’t get my hopes up. I’ve been disappointed in 2000 then again in 2012. Not because I am religious or seeking judgment for myself and other but
because I am so freakn sick of the entire global paradigm and people being caught up in remedial crap. People who can’t go without their phones for
a second, terrible people with terrible children.

I crave a gigantic global mix up massive and possibly devistating proportions.
Rooting for you space rock! Wake up already Yellowstone.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
